For me it is still the most exclusive cigars in the world. The quintessence of the Habana cigar. And so I'm pleased to be able to smoke one of these cigars and share my experiences. But how to describe a cigar that is as exclusive as the Cohiba Behike from 2006? Is it possible to describe such a cigar like an ordinary one? Does she need a special highlighting? On the other hand, a Cohiba Behike is just a cigar. Even a rare one. RG: 52 Length: 192 mm Longfiller, Totalmenta a Mano by Norma Fernandez Sastre Optics: The word "immaculately" describing the visual appearance of the rare cigar with the shiny satin finish, colorado colored wrapper actually quite good. Especially as a picture is worth a thousand words. The photo was taken from my cigar-blog. Coldsmell: Even the cold smell is quite complex. The cigar presents itself quite velvety. She reminds me of pastry and milk chocolate. Nevertheless, it has a spicy component of herbs and dried apples. Compared with a Cohiba from the standard series, the Behike makes a milder and more balanced impression. 1st fifth: The Double Robusto starts quite mild. This impression continues into the 4th fifth. Actually, I would have expected a stronger cigar. The first half is dominated by a subtle, neutral sweetness. As aromatic-spicy component is vanilla and something that I would describe as "sweet grass" detectable. These aromas are joined by soft leather. The photo was taken from my cigar-blog. 2nd fifth: The sweetness of the first section is continued seamlessly. Milk and toffee provide a sweet and aromatic component. Also light roasted notes by toast and roasted hazelnuts were starting. The Cuban Touch is formed by aromas of dry ground and some balsa. At the same cigar has very creamy smoke. 3rd fifth: In addition to the flavors of the second section, tart flavors of black tea were added. The woody notes increase while sweet and nutty flavors slightly fade into the background. 4th fifth: From the middle the sweet aromas are replaced by slightly more powerful flavors. Here dominate moderately strong roasted flavors. Espresso forms with a certain aromatic sweetness a successful transition. Dry ground and spicy-tart wood notes indicates unmistakably to Cuba. The photo was taken from my cigar-blog. 5th fifth: In the last fifth the moderately strong roasted flavors continue. Viewed from the flavors, this section is similar to the last section. However, the earthy and woody flavors are more present. A slight freshness that reminds me of menthol emerges on the lip. Conclusion: In order not to fall into any adulation I keep my personal conclusion deliberately short. The Cohibe Behike of 2006 is an exceptionally good cigar. In my opinion with its surprisingly mild and rather sweet flavor it is not necessarily a typical Cohiba. Whether the cigar, apart from the collector's value, is worth its price, everyone likes to decide for themselves.
